This invention relates to new and useful improvements in apparatus for holding motors while being overhauled and forming a convenient stand which is adjustable and so arranged as to enable the workman to have convenient access to the same in overhauling the motor.

The invention comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stand for holding motors made in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view showing the adjustment of the frame.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A, A designate standards connected to the base strips 3 which are suitably braced as at C and each of said standards has a boxing D in which the spindles E of the racks are journaled. One of said spindles is extended and has a worm wheel F fixed thereto which is in mesh with the Worm shaft H to which a handle I is fastened, forming a convenient means for turning the rack. The rack comprises two end pieces K which are parallel to each other and which are longitudinally slotted as at L, and two side bars, designated respectively by letters 0, O, and each of which is prov ded with a laterally extending and longitudinally adjustable angle plate R which is held in an adjusted position within the slot through the medium of set screws S. It will be noted that each of said bars 0 has an oifset 0 provided as a convenience to receive the fly wheel of the engine.

By the provision of a stand made in accordance with my invention, it will be noted that the same may be adjusted to difierent sized motors and, by revolving the rack, the

motor may be brought to dilferent positions for convenience of workmen in overhauling the same.
